How DDoS protection works here

Layer 3 to 7 filtering is on by default on every server, at no extra cost. Traffic is scrubbed before it reaches the node, so a volumetric attack is absorbed upstream.

• You do not need to enable anything or open a ticket when an attack starts.
• Filtering can add a few milliseconds of latency while an attack is active. That is the trade.
• Application-layer floods against a game port are harder to distinguish from real players. If you see one, tell us and we tune the profile for your game.
• Protection cannot help with an attack against a player's home connection. That is between them and their ISP.
